[Short track speed skating] From academic master to Winter Olympic champion

Gu Ran said: "Today's 5000-meter relay, the biggest mistake was me."

"???"

Didn't they win the 5000-meter relay?Why did Gu Ran say that?

Chi Lang put his arm around his shoulder: "What a mistake, if it weren't for your extraordinary performance at the end, we would have watched Canada win the championship."

Cheng Sen and Xu Qing glanced at each other: "Tell me."

Gu Ran slapped Chi Lang's hand away, and sat up a little bit: "In the beginning, we maintained the first position. The South Korean team was affected by Hwang Jae-hyun's red card and was in poor condition."

"I skated the same time as Yin Canyu, and I can feel that he is no longer a threat to us in the competition."

Xu Qing nodded: "Indeed, in the final relay race, although the South Korean team won No.3, judging from the results, they are not even as good as yesterday's semi-final."

Gu Ran continued: "When the race reached more than 20 laps and approached [-] laps, I relaxed my vigilance."

Xu Qing said: "This is normal. There are too many laps in the relay race, and the competition time is the longest. During the [-] or [-] laps, the athletes' physical fitness and concentration are declining. When they are tired, it is easy to relax their vigilance. "

Gu Ran sighed: "Although, that Curtis is too strong in the middle of the game, explodes continuously, and his physical fitness is very good. After a few confrontations with him, my skating rhythm is also a bit chaotic."

Cheng Sen interjected: "I saw it, your feet slipped, and he took the opportunity to overtake you."

"Yes, it affected the rest of the game. We were second until the end of the game."

He turned his head to look at Gao Ziyi, Meng Yuqiao and Chi Lang: "I want to thank my three teammates for never giving up and giving me the last chance to make up for my mistakes."

"Cut!" Chi Lang didn't take it seriously, "What is this, I often slip on my feet, what is this?"

Xu Qing glared at him: "Not ashamed, but proud."

Chi Lang was so stared at by him that he dared not speak, so he shrank his head quickly and closed his mouth.

Xu Qing looked at Gu Ran again, and immediately put on a pleasant expression: "In the competition, there will always be various emergencies. Physical confrontation is also a very important part of short track speed skating. After colliding with the opponent, there will be a slowdown. , slipping, staggering or even falling down, these are all normal. You don’t have to pay too much attention to it, you can be fined a hundred laps after you go back.”

"..."

Good guy, a hundred laps is enough? ? ?

The others gasped.Director Xu always has this kind of ability, with an amiable smile on his face and a calm tone, but what he says can scare people to death.

Cheng Sen was a little curious: "What do you think during the game, you don't think about it all the time, do you?"

Gu Ran nodded sharply at him: "I'm thinking about this, every time I play, I'm thinking, if I can't catch up, how can I explain to my teammates and coach, I have to make up for my own mistakes. "

"If you say that, I actually made a big mistake in the game."

Everyone raised their heads and looked towards the desk.He was the one who stood up and admitted his mistakes.

Meng Yuqiao was a man of few words. During meetings, if Cheng Sen hadn't called names, he would have remained silent from the beginning to the end.

Today is a good day, rushing to admit mistakes.

Cheng Sen leaned back on the chair leisurely: "Tell me, where did you go wrong again?"

"Before the last handover, I wanted to take the opportunity to overtake Canada, but I didn't make it. At this time, I should slow down and go back to the inner lane. But I wanted to gamble on the handover."

"There is a curve ahead, and I created a very unsafe environment for Xiaoran. Once we fail to overtake, we are likely to fall to the end. Confrontation with opponents and sudden line changes will also cause fouls with a high probability."

He looked at Gu Ran: "So, I artificially created obstacles for you, but your final transcendence is very exciting."

Gu Ran looked up at him, showing a smile that was not a smile: "It was you who didn't give up until the end, that gave me a chance to overtake my opponent. How about it, do you want to brag about each other in business?"

Meng Yuqiao mouthed to him, and Gu Ran understood in seconds.He said "little bastard".

"Okay, okay," Cheng Sen cleared his throat, "It's a good thing to replay the game, and you don't need to magnify your shortcomings and blame yourself too much. The game is over, everyone still has to look forward, sum up experience after going back, and continue to work hard. "

"Director Xu," he called Xu Qing, "what else do you want to say?"

Xu Qing shook his head: "Not anymore."

"Dismiss!"

Everyone came out of Cheng Sen's room in twos and threes. Liang Kexin, a girl with a serious Internet addiction, started playing with her mobile phone while she was still in the corridor.

Gu Ran walked around her and was talking to Meng Yuqiao, when suddenly a scream exploded in her ear: "Little Junior Brother!!!"

Gu Ran wanted to cover her mouth immediately: "Sister, this is a public place, you are wearing the national team's sportswear, pay attention to the impact."

Liang Kexin looked around, but luckily there was no one else in the corridor.She hurriedly pulled Gu Ran into their room: "Hurry up, hurry up, you're going to become popular, do you know that?"

She was so surprised that Chi Lang, Gao Ziyi, Meng Yuqiao, Yang Shanshan, and Liu Fei all followed in curiously.

Gu Ran said: "I'm not in the entertainment industry, why am I becoming popular?"

Chi Lang asked: "Is it because of your face?"

Yang Shanshan pinched Gu Ran's face conveniently: "Although the younger brother is good-looking, his strength is also online. With four gold medals, it's normal to like to mention a hot search or something."

Meng Yuqiao was the last one, walked into the room and closed the door: "If I remember correctly, the last time a topic related to short-track speed skating appeared in the hot search was during the Winter Olympics, and the Chinese team had no success."

Liang Kexin said: "That's right! But, my junior brother likes to mention hot searches today, not because of his good looks, nor because of his four gold medals."

Gao Ziyi asked, "Why is that?"

Liang Kexin showed the phone screen in front of everyone: "Because of an interview."

So, several people's heads came together, and only Meng Yuqiao took out her mobile phone.

The video was edited by a marketing account, and it only lasted a few tens of seconds.There is neither the first half nor the end of the interview, only a question and answer in the middle.

The reporter asked: "When did you feel the happiest in this competition?"

Gu Ran replied: "When the Korean team fell off the track hand in hand."

"!!!"

The video was played in a loop, and the two lines of dialogue were played back and forth three times before Liang Kexin turned him off.

"Fuck!!!" Chi Lang suddenly rushed over and hugged Gu Ran, "Gu Xiaoran, you are awesome!"

Liu Fei laughed loudly: "This answer is perfect!"

Yang Shanshan gave a thumbs up: "That is to say, I'm really happy!!!"

Meng Yuqiao and Gao Ziyi are two introverted people. Although they didn't speak, they also smiled happily.

Gu Ran licked Chi Lang's head, his hair was cut too short and it hurt his hands, Gu Ran pushed him aside: "When she asked me this question, do you know what I was thinking?"

Chi Lang asked, "What do you think?"

"I think, how Chi Dali will answer, I have a picture in my mind."

"That's right!!" Chi Lang said proudly, "If you interview me, I'll say the same."

Liang Kexin clicked on the comment section again, and read the hot comments with the highest number of likes to them one by one: "Well said, I'm so excited!"

"Koreans are dirty. No matter what sports they play, they like to play tricks. Now they don't even let their teammates off!"

"Wow, four gold medals and only 15 years old, that's awesome."

"Not only is it awesome, but it's also very good-looking, and the butt is really curled up!"

"Not only is he good-looking, but he's also a talent for interviewing. Please invite him to participate in more interviews in the future."

"Weakly ask, what kind of game is this?"

"There is no live broadcast of the Short Track Speed ​​Skating World Cup in China."

"Short track speed skating? It's too unpopular, I don't know about it."

"Winter Olympics, next month's World Championships should be broadcast on the sports channel. If you are interested, you can pay attention."

"..."

So far, the following comments are still friendly. However, Liang Kexin read half of the next one: "Isn't skating just faster than anyone else? Although the Korean team fell off the track..."

Everyone was listening quietly, but her voice suddenly stopped.On the other side, Meng Yuqiao, who was holding a mobile phone, continued to read: "Objectively speaking, the Koreans are stronger. This is just an accident. I don't know what to be proud of if I picked up a gold and silver medal for nothing. It's funny!"

"That is, if you don't want to improve your own strength, is it possible that you count on your opponent to foul every time you play?"

"That's right, I've stayed in South Korea. Don't say that their competitions are dirty, but they do have strength. Their short track speed skating is very strong, and they have a strong national foundation."

"It's not that the Chinese players are not good, but there is no need to belittle others and improve yourself. You should work hard and dare to admit your own gap."

A large group of netizens quarreled with them: "The Korean team fell off the track due to internal fighting, and it wasn't the Chinese players who pushed them out. Why didn't they win the championship based on their strength?"

"Once they get four gold medals, why don't Koreans try to get one?"

"I checked, and the Koreans won almost all the men's gold medals in the first few races."

"Then have you checked? The team member interviewed today cannot participate in the adult competition organized by the International Skating Federation because he is under 16 years old. This is his first time participating in the Short Track Speed ​​Skating World Cup."

"..."

After all, short track speed skating is an unpopular sport. For some southerners, they may have never heard of it.Except for the Winter Olympics, let's take a look at the trend. If the World Championships are held in European and American countries, due to the time difference, the live broadcast is usually in the middle of the night.Unless you are an ice fan who really loves the sport, no one will watch it on TV.

Weibo is a public social platform, not an ice and snow sports forum.Everyone can express their own opinions when they see the hot search points, and the good and bad are presented in front of everyone.

Everyone was happy at first, but after reading a few comments, everyone suddenly became quiet.

Chi Lang took out his mobile phone: "Watch me fight them for [-] rounds."

Meng Yuqiao held him down: "Don't look for trouble, pay attention to discipline."

Gao Ziyi comforted Gu Ran: "Don't worry about it, they don't understand anything, they're talking nonsense. Don't let these remarks affect your mood."

Gu Ran shook her head lightly: "Thinking about it, it's actually true. Competitions are all about strength. Whoever is the best will win the championship."

Meng Yuqiao said, "Short track speed skating is different."

"Yes!" Gu Ran said, "Short track speed skating is different. This is an individual team sport. I don't care who wins the championship, but the championship must belong to the Chinese team."

"That's right!" Liu Fei also said, "Whether it's a substitute or an assistant, I don't care if I'm a training partner, as long as the Chinese team can win the championship!"

Gu Ran laughed with a "puchi": "Aren't I your training partner?"

Yang Shanshan quickly waved her hand: "Let the world champion be my training partner, I am not worthy!"

"Hmph!" Gu Ran pouted and looked at her pretending to be angry, "That's not what you said during practice."

"What did I say?"

Gu Ran imitated her tone: "Little brother, let's skate another 1000 meters with my sister."

"Little brother, slow down, I can't keep up."

"Little brother, how did you get past this corner, do it again and let me see."

Yang Shanshan patted his head: "Young junior brother is the most obedient, senior sister loves you."

Several people chatted and laughed for a while, and the time was almost up, so they went back to their rooms to sleep.

Gu Ran went to take a shower and lay down on the bed.It was really hit by Gao Ziyi, he slept too much in the afternoon, jet lag was a bit confusing, and now he couldn't fall asleep even if he touched the pillow.

The room was closed, and there was the sound of even breathing from Gao Ziyi on the other side.

Gu Ran turned over, and those discussions about him appeared in his mind again.

So, he took out his phone from under the pillow.The hot search went up a few more places. In addition to interviews, the popular Weibo also has his various game videos and high-definition pictures.

Everyone is praising his appearance and figure, as well as his particularly conspicuous buttocks when he is wearing a jumpsuit.

Some people also praised him as a young genius, looking forward to the Beijing Winter Olympics three years later, where he can lead the Chinese short track speed skating team to avenge the South Korean team.

Gu Ran swiped a few times on her phone, found the first Weibo, clicked on the comment section, and read one by one.

Soon he came across the comment that said he "got a gold medal for nothing, nothing to be proud of".

There are more than 1000 replies to this comment, and everyone is arguing fiercely. Some people think that there is no need to brag about the gold medal won because of the opponent's mistake, and there is no need for Chinese athletes to say such things in front of the media, which seems petty.

Some people also think that the Korean team's infighting is even more ridiculous. They can tear each other up on the field, and others can't see the joke?

Looking at one by one, most of them are meaningless quarrels.

But one of the replies left a deep impression on Gu Ran: "In any case, I will always support Chinese athletes. I hope they can protect themselves on the field and do their best to win glory for the country. The situation like the Korean team must not happen. We must Take the cleanest gold medal."

"We want to get the cleanest gold medal." Gu Ran read this sentence several times, until a hand pulled the phone away from his eyes in the darkness.

"!!!"

Gu Ran almost blurted out the words "Damn it", it's too scary at night.

However, after a moment of fright, he realized that he and Gao Ziyi lived in this room alone, and he would definitely hear the sound when someone opened the door, so this hand must be his brother Xiao Gao.

Gao Ziyi glanced at the content on the screen, and asked him softly: "It's so late, why don't you go to sleep?"

Gu Ran said: "I slept too much in the afternoon, and I can't fall asleep."

Gao Ziyi turned on the bedside lamp and adjusted it to a level that is comfortable for the eyes: "Then I will chat with you for a while."

Gu Ran sat up and leaned against the head of the bed: "What are you talking about?"

Gao Ziyi sat beside his bed: "Are you still reading this comment?"

"Actually... those people are not wrong." Gu Ran smiled, "In terms of hard power, I am indeed inferior to Yin Canyu, and this gold medal is indeed for nothing."

"But that's not your fault."

"But what I said in the interview, will it have any impact?"

Gao Ziyi patted his head: "What influence can it have?"

Gu Ran smiled slyly: "What affects the relationship between the two teams?"

Gao Ziyi shrugged: "Whatever, the relationship is not good anyway."
